Writing scripts and online support
How about apt-get install bash-doc? man bash will give you a lot of info about shell scripting with bash.

I know a simple script file could do this. Anyhow, I know there must be a decent resource list for script writing, and am curious what people suggest are the best places to look. Thanks guys!
